I think that Vandy will be pretty good next year as well, and Georgia should be decent as long as KCP comes back (which is a big if).

The SEC was just incredibly young this season, outside of Florida, Missouri, Ole Miss, and Tennessee (although Maymon going down definitely threw a wrench in their season). It should be a lot better next year.

I may be off base in thinking this but could the SEC in general having so many weak seasons overall be due to AD's having been more quick to fire coaches the past decade?

My thinking is simply that during the 80s through the early 2000s, it always seemed like half the league usually had tourney teams with a few being Top 20 every year. However, they weren't always the same teams.

Of Alabama, LSU, Miss St, Tennessee, Arkansas, Vandy group, at least a couple were Top 20 any given year. Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, South Carolina had some really good teams here and there too.

Is it that everyone thinks they'll find lightning in a bottle like Florida with Donovan to the point that now 75% of the league is constantly in rebuilding instead of waiting for the 4-5 year cycle when a couple of great recruits mix in with a solid base of upperclass starters?
